As Bitcoin drops below the $70,000 level, volatility is once again exposing the reality of large-scale crypto exposure. Two of the most well-known corporate crypto treasury holders — Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Tom Lee–chaired BitMine Immersion Technologies — are now facing multi-billion-dollar unrealized losses on their Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings.
📌 Market Context
• Both firms accumulated their crypto treasuries aggressively at much higher price levels, betting on long-term adoption rather than short-term price stability.
• The recent pullback in BTC and ETH has significantly reduced the market value of these holdings.
• Importantly, these are paper losses, not realized losses — no forced selling has occurred.
Despite the drawdown, both entities continue to publicly support their long-term crypto strategy.
🔻 Strategy (Bitcoin Treasury)
• Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) currently holds ~713,500 BTC on its balance sheet.
• The company’s average acquisition price is estimated near $76,000 per BTC.
• With Bitcoin now trading well below that level, Strategy’s BTC position has moved into multi-billion-dollar unrealized losses, depending on spot price fluctuations.
• Strategy’s stock (MSTR) has also reflected this pressure, underperforming as Bitcoin weakens.
Michael Saylor, however, has remained firm — reiterating that Bitcoin is a long-duration asset, not a short-term trade.
🔻 BitMine Immersion (Ethereum Treasury)
• BitMine Immersion Technologies holds a massive Ethereum treasury of approximately 4.28–4.3 million ETH.
• After Ethereum’s sharp retracement from higher levels, the firm is now facing estimated paper losses exceeding $6 billion.
• Despite the drawdown, BitMine continues to hold and accumulate ETH, signaling long-term conviction over short-term volatility.
📊 In Simple Terms
Bitcoin and Ethereum’s recent downturn has pushed some of the largest corporate crypto treasuries deep underwater. These losses highlight a key reality of crypto exposure at scale:
• Large balance sheets amplify volatility
• Drawdowns can look extreme — even without selling
• Conviction is tested most during market weakness
Yet, neither firm has exited their positions.
🧠 The Bigger Picture
Paper losses don’t equal failure — they reflect timing, volatility, and conviction. Corporate holders aren’t trading charts; they’re betting on future monetary and technological shifts.
As history has shown, crypto cycles reward patience — but only those who can withstand deep drawdowns without breaking strategy.
📉 Short-term pain
📈 Long-term conviction
“Saylor’s BTC and BitMine’s ETH stacks are underwater — but the HODL continues.”
